Why the scores diverge

  • Terminator Salvation highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans on exposition-heavy lines that serve to clarify plot mechanics rather than natural character interaction, though it rarely feels overtly message-driven.
  • Resident Evil: Characters appear to be motivated by survival and plot needs rather than symbolic representation or tokenism.
  • Terminator Salvation: Characters are mostly functional within the narrative, with few feeling inserted purely for representation or tokenism, but some secondary roles lack depth.

Terminator Salvation reads higher on legacy rewriting than Resident Evil, which nudges the overall profile message-forward. Terminator Salvation reads higher on protected protagonist pattern than Resident Evil, which nudges the overall profile message-forward.
